    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for improved cell search of terrestrial base stations. Using a dataset of anticipated coverage areas associated with one or more terrestrial base stations locally stored on a user equipment (UE) and a location of the UE, the UE can determine if it is within a predetermined threshold distance of the one or more anticipated coverage areas. If so, the UE may perform cell search for the one or more terrestrial base stations; if not, the UE may not perform cell search or perform cell search less often to prevent unnecessary battery depletion.

    摘要: A method of connecting a mesh node to a mesh communication network comprising a plurality of interconnected mesh nodes, wherein said mesh node is arranged to connect to said mesh communication network using a default physical layer, PHY, and is arranged to connect to said mesh communication network using a long-range PHY, wherein a reach area of said long-range PHY is greater than a reach area of said default PHY, said method comprises the steps of determining, by said mesh node, that said long-range PHY is required for connecting to said mesh communication network, broadcasting, by said mesh node, a long-range support message using said long-range PHY thereby requesting connection to said mesh communication network, receiving, by said mesh node, from a mesh node in said mesh communication network, a support response of said long-range support message thereby indicating support of said connection of said mesh node to said communication network using said long-range PHY.

    摘要: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices, and systems for wireless communication. Some aspects more specifically relate to dynamic path selection for wireless connectivity. An access point (AP) may receive communication link information and device status information from cellular-enabled devices in a wireless local area network (WLAN). The communication link information may indicate path metrics (such as link quality information) associated with respective connections between the cellular-enabled devices and a communication network (such as the Internet). The device status information may indicate operational metrics associated with the cellular-enabled devices (such as battery status information or cellular subscription information). If, for example, the performance of a default connection between the AP and the communication network deteriorates, the AP may select one of the cellular-enabled devices to relay wireless communications between the communication network and the AP in accordance with the communication link information and the device status information.
